a birthday boy's point of view

Today’s the 5th of February…

But, let me talk about February 3…

February 3 is my day. This time, it signaled the start of my 16th year of existence.
My day started with the voice of my mother, desperately waking me up to do my notes. Yes, waking me up to do my notes. Well, I asked her to wake me up for I want to start with my notebooks to avoid cramming. But then, I don’t feel like doing it that time, and it annoyed me a bit for she did not even bother to greet me. Well, I do not have any hurt feelings for her anyway, for she was the reason why I’m existing. (and she also took care of my celebration :P)

It was around 5:30 am, I was awaken again by my mother’s voice but this time, it was with a greeting. That made my morning good, and I prepared myself to school with the luxury of time. (so much luxury that I was at the brink of ‘lateness’ that day. xD) My ONLY ONE and I met at Rustan’s to go to school together, another thing that added brightness to my day. As we arrived to school, I felt something. I really do not know what exactly it is but it’s just I don’t have the energy to be happy. I am not in the mood. (Maybe because of the extreme emotions that I felt before that day.) What added to the wretchedness of that moment is when it came to my knowledge that SHE won’t be able to come. But because it is MY day, I went on as planned. I pretended to be happy and celebrated it with all vigor. But then later on, I felt a freckle of happiness. I was contented just seeing those people close to my heart celebrate my special day with me. But it was just not enough…

We played and did crazy stuff. I never expected that I would see Marc and Bryan playing ‘Gera Patayan’ (they even gave their best, I think…) we played a ‘modernized’ version of Trip to Jerusalem. (I think it was a ‘trip to heaven’ for the boys.xD)

I was also touched because they did the ‘laying of hands’ to me, a sort of blessing me because it was my birthday, while we are having a prayer. Something I never saw in birthday parties...

We shared a simple feast and I think everybody enjoyed. (Especially melo.xD)

We were in the middle of the eating when Tasha arrived. I felt a spasm in my stomach. It’s like drinking a hot glass of Milo in a very cold weather. Did Tasha bring HER here? But I cannot see HER anywhere though. And the sudden beam of hope vanished. After a short while, she invited me to go downstairs.

“Bakit kaya?” I said to myself.
“Nandyan kaya SIYA?”

Before I could ask myself more queries, in my eyes I saw the person I’ve been waiting for. It was a sort of surprise according to them. The atmosphere suddenly became light. As we entered the room, they started playing the song ‘I’m Yours’. That was when I realized that the class was in cooperation in this ‘gimik’. I would like to shout and say…

“Mga sira talaga kayo! Pinalungkot niyo muna ko! Hahahha!”

But then, I really was touched. Seriously, especially when SHE handed me her gift. It was something I long wished for. (but then, whatever HER gift is, it doesn’t matter, as long as it came from her.)

After that, we danced with the lights shut. It was fun, pretending to be in a disco. Ahaha!

We concluded the party by having a round of ‘Spin the Bottle.’ It was fun since we were able to know who the crushes of our classmates are. (Except for those who played it safe.:P)

To end my post, would like to thank everybody who joined me in my sixteen years here in Earth… I really do appreciate your company…:)
